SPECIFICATION forming parta of Letters Patent No. 230,847, dated August 3, 1880.

Application filed June 2, 1880. (N0 model.)

To all whom at may concern.

Be it known that I, DIEDRICH VVILHELMI, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bags and Satchels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to supply a neat and light bag or satcliel for summer use; and the invention consists of a bag or satchel, the side, end, and bottom parts of which are made of one continuous piece of braided straw, willow-ware, or rattan, and provided with connecting end gussets having interior re-enforcing; corner-pieces.

In the accom panying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective View of my improved bag or satchel; and Fig. 2 is a detail vertical transverse section of the upper part of the same, showing the interior corner-pieces of the end gussets.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, A represents a bag or satchel, the body B of which is made of braided straw, willow-ware, rattan, or similar material, in such a manner that the end walls, side walls, and bottom form one continuous piece, which is attached to the metallic frame O of the bag; or satchel and to connecting; end gussets, B, which are made of leather or other suitable material.

The connecting end gussets, B, as well as the upper parts of the side walls of the body,

are attached to the frame 0 in the usual manner.

The upper corners of the body B are re-enforced by rounded-0lf corner-pieces D, which are attached to the inside of the gussets, as shown in Fig. 2.

A bag or satchel of this construction is light, airy, and of neat appearance, and especially adapted for use in summer.

Having thus described myinventiou, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A satchel having the bottom, sides, and a portion of each of its ends made of braided straw, rattan, or willow, and provided with end gussets of fabric or other flexible material, and suitable jaws and handle, all substantially as set forth.

2. As an improvement in bags or satchels, the combination, with a body made of a 0011 tinuous piece of braided straw, willow-ware, or rattan, and provided with connecting end gusset s, of interior re-enforcing corner-pieces, substantially as described.

in testimony that I claim the foregoing as myinvention l have signed my name,in presence of two witnesses, this th day of May, 1880.
